Sinopse

Dance Fashion Wars explores the captivating history of dance fashion, revealing how costumes and dancewear reflect and influence social norms and artistic expression. The book goes beyond aesthetics, diving into how dance attire shapes choreographic possibilities and challenges social hierarchies. From restrictive Romantic ballet corsets to the liberating designs of modern dance, the evolution of dance costumes mirrors broader cultural, economic, and technological forces. The book examines the historical trajectory of dance costumes and the textile innovation that has revolutionized dancewear. Early stage lighting innovations, for example, demanded new visual strategies in costume design. Dance Fashion Wars progresses through key historical periods, analyzing the impact of clothing on both the dancer's movement and the audience's perception. By using costume sketches, historical photographs, and interviews with contemporary costume designers the book showcases a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of dance fashion. It argues that dance fashion is not merely decorative but a dynamic force, making it a valuable resource for dancers, choreographers, designers, and anyone interested in the intersection of art, culture, and clothing.

Stories I Love To Tell - that...

Dick Foth

Dick Foth can’t stop telling stories. He's been making sense of life through story since he first realized words could become sentences. Now, after eight decades, friends have finally convinced Foth to record the stories he loves to tell in the way he loves to tell them: to a live audience. Stories I Love to Tell became a reality one evening at the Capital Turnaround in Washington, D.C.—a setting for some of Foth’s greatest adventures. And now you are invited into the audience, to find reasons for hope, courage to face hard things, and stories that bring us back together. Our brains are wired for and by story. Memories live in stories; relationships flourish there; identity is shaped there. Values ripen, and belonging is found across generations—around campfires and dinner tables—when moments turn into stories.Why listen to someone else’s stories? If it’s true that every human being somehow reflects God—and Foth believes it is—then maybe stories are the mirrors between every family, tribe, and person on planet Earth. In other words, it’s our stories that give our relationships a chance.Foth especially loves childhood stories, “because when I tell a story from my childhood, it reveals who I am. It is the lens through which I see my world.” As you listen to Stories I Love to Tell, you will see your own world more clearly. You will find yourself thinking, dreaming, and even feeling like a child again. There will be greater heroes to follow, deeper joys to discover, and even more of yourself to see. Foth’s low, kind, and rumbling voice constantly reminds us of the people who care for us, cheer us on, and—almost without our knowing it—become the heroes of the stories we, too, will love to tell. Enjoy!

Scripting Empire - Broadcasting...

James Procter

Scripting Empire recovers the literary and cultural history of West Indian and West African writing at the BBC in order to rethink the critical mid-century decades of shrinking British sovereignty, late modernism, and mass migration to the metropole. Between the 1930s and the 1960s, a remarkable group of black Atlantic artists and intellectuals became producers, editors, and freelancers at the corporation. Operating at the interface of a range of literary and broadcast genres, this loose network of African Caribbean writers and thinkers prompt a reassessment of the aesthetic, formal, and political fallout of decolonization between the outbreak of World War II and the first airings of post-colonial independence. 
 
 
 
Scripting Empire works comparatively across dozens of different programs spanning the General Overseas Service, Home Service, Light Program, and Third Program. Drawing upon a transnational archive of materials, including scripts, correspondence, periodicals, visual records, and sound recordings, it seeks to reposition the cultural contribution of West Indians and West Africans within a more pervasive and porous account of radio transmission, the legacy of which extends well beyond broadcasting.
